Your cot/bed can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth and drying with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use abrasives, chemical cleaners or household polishes.
Take care when handling or moving. Careless handling can damage wooden furniture.
Wood is a natural material, the colour will darken with age.
WARNING!
Be aware of the risk of open fire and other sources of strong heat, such as electric bar fires, gas fires, etc,
in the vicinity of the cot/bed.
WARNING!
Do not use this product if any part is broken, torn or missing and use only spare parts approved by
the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Do not leave anything in the cot/bed, or place it close to another product which could provide a foothold
or present a danger of suffocation or strangulation. For example strings, blind/curtain cords etc.
WARNING!
Children are likely to play, bounce, jump and climb on beds, therefore the child’s bed should not be
placed too close to other furniture or windows, blind cords, curtain pulls or other strings or cords, and should be
placed either tight to any wall or have a gap of 300mm between the wall and the side of the bed.
WARNING!
Do not use more than one mattress in the cot. Only use the recommended Mothercare cot mattress,
ensure the gap at the sides and the ends does not exceed 30mm.
WARNING!
Do not place this product near heat sources, windows and other furniture.
The size of the mattress to be used with the child’s bed is 1400mm long by 700mm wide and up to 100mm
in thickness.
The lowest position of the mattress base is the safest, and should be used as soon as the baby is old enough to sit up.
Thickness of the mattress chosen must not reduce the internal depth (from mattress surface to top of the side) to less
than 500mm with the base in its lowest position or 200mm with the base in its highest position. The leg of the cot has
a mark indicating this height.
Cots which convert to beds are intended from birth up to approximately 5 years.
If assembling as a cot, please ensure all remaining conversion fittings and instructions are kept for future use.
Always keep medication, string, elastic, small toys or similar small items out of reach from any position of the cot.
To prevent injury from falls, when the child is able to climb out of the cot, the cot shall no longer be used for that child.
All assembly fittings should be tightened properly, checked regularly and re-tightened as necessary.
The cot/bed must be used on a level and stable surface, away from electric sockets.
Never move the cot/bed with a child in it.
Once assembled do not dismantle for transportation or storage.
Excessive chewing may damage the wood and cause splintering.
